Whoa. That was awesome! I love the call-backs to Casino Night, and I really felt like you kept everyone in character even though they were so much younger. Great job!
Author's Response: I'm so excited to hear that you liked the story and that you felt everyone was in character- that's always a challenge of mine when writing. Thanks so much for the awesome review!!

Thanks so much for writing a part 2! This was so awesome.
The part where Roy didn't get into Marywood, and so can't go to the parties without Pam kills me. I could him using her and walking all over her :(
Loved Packer! So funny and was not expecting that!
"Blonde Ponytail" was great, and I can totally see Pam making up names for people like that.
You NEED to make another part. Maybe Pam runs into Jim in the cafeteria or they have a class together? So many ways this could go. Love it!
Author's Response: Booooo Roy, right? ;-) I'm glad you liked the addition of "Blonde Ponytail"- I was very fearful that it wasn't "Pam" enough, so I'm happy to hear that it worked out. I'm thinking about a part 3... I think I'm a bit in love with college Jim and Pam.... Thanks so much for the awesome review.

wahoo! i'm so glad you decided to write this!! I loved reading it, great job!!! my favorite parts were:
Blonde Ponytail! absolutely cracked me up
Pack-er! Pack-er! heee! didn't see that coming but can totally see that happening. He would definitely be the middle-aged bald dude that still goes to college parties.
"....rescuing ladies in Perpetual Help" smooth line, Halpert! though of course he doesn't need a line to land our dear Pamela.
"If I think about the implication of his response, I'm fairly certain everything around me will start to spin again." This is beautiful.
loved it all!
Author's Response: When I saw the names of those dorm rooms, I couldn't resist. It was begging to be made fun of and used. A lot of people seem to really love the Pam line about the implications of his response, which just floors me, cause I just sort of spat it out- so it's brilliant to me that people feel so connected about it. Thank you for the amazing review and for pushing for the sequel ;-)

I love these lines:
“Yeah, I guess, right?” I retort with a laugh. “I bet you use that line on all the girls, though.”
His smile fades and the golf cart slows to a stop. “No,” he says simply.
If I think about the implication of his response, I’m fairly certain everything around me will start to spin again.
I'm so glad you continued this little AU story. Roy just won't change, will he? But then, Jim is still such a sweetheart. Love that lisahoo posted that link.
Nice job with this. Feel free to add more anytime. I love Jim, Pam and Roy in their younger days.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the awesome review! When I wrote that line I literally thought: "whoa... how will Pam respond" and it sort of made MY head spin. So, that's ultimately waht brought the line up! LOL Hopefully if the spirit moves me, I'll be adding to the series. Thanks for the kind comments!

Oh, just going to start off my review answering this:
Pam enters her freshman year at Marywood University. Will she run into Jim?
oooh, oooh, oooh, I haven't even read the story yet but my guess is yes, am I right am I right? do I win anything?
And freshman orientation is different than what I had. Sort of like what I had during the summer.... but, I don't really remember that. All I remember was walking around campus some with parents some not, and touring dorms maybe? i am getting oritation and open house confused. But my first day, I moved in early, and didn't really leave my dorm until that night. Nothing official *remineceses* yeah, like it wasn't just three years ago :P
I love the little:
i would give up my best set of charcoals.... i am so not giving up my charcoals.
I have yet to go to a real college party. Probably because I am a shy introvert who doesn't like to drink, and hates being around people drinking.
Wow, Pam is defintily thinking about Jim...yeah, I can imagine that. Because, um, seriously, if a Jim walked into my life, I would be thinking about him also.
Gah, I don't think I want to go to a party like that. Yeah, I would pretty much want to die. Unless Jim was there. Then, um, duh.
eeek. A Packer. No. No Packers allowed.
Blonde Ponytail kisses Roy. :O
Okay, so tis is not only great first person, it is great present tense. I realized earlier I was reading a story, and reading it in present tense was just like a shock. It didn't feel right. But, this story it works.
We have something like safe walk. It is 7-Duck. most of my friends drive for 7-duck. Guess what number you call to get 7-duck.... 7-d-u-c-k. However, I always joke call them asking them to drive me from the library to my dorm (right across the street). but, generally, i don't need it. Everywhere I walk i feel safe. Which is probably pretty stupid because you aren't really safe, especially being alone on a college campus.
God, Roy doesn't even notice that he is all over blondie
And he accuses her of PMS... that only works when the girl is joking about it. Guys should never act as if that is an exuse (unless you are dwight and it is a funny scene like that). I can say I am PMSing. If a guy accuses me of it, he will get slapped.... well, more likely a glare. But whatever.
I was RIGHT! She does run into Jim. YAY!
I like Jim's eyes also. And, yeah, I am betting kissing him would be nice.
Darnit, why don't any of the guys who work for 7-Duck anyhing like Jim!!!!
That little drunk exchange reminds me of gay witch hunt... they weren't drunk then. she is a little drunk here. oh well. still, kissing jim - good. even if only drunk (dundies). as long as she keeps kissing jim. And doesn't go back to the evil roy.
And of course, the evil "I can't" that haunts them even in AU universes.
So, can we expect another sequel? And soon?
Author's Response: Whoa! That is one mother of a review! LOL To be quite honest the only real college parties I've been to were during orientation week which were organized by the student council of my school. Usually they were at clubs. I'm glad you noticed the parallel to GWH and CN- the connection was certainly intended. I have to think of what I'll do for the next part (of if I will write a next part! LOL) Plus I'm working on an epic along the lines of When in Rome... so I'm just fic crazy! LOL Thanks so much for your awesome reviews and for reading my stuff.

Yeah!!! This was so good! I hope you continue it!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much! And thank you for encouraging me to continue from the last fic. Without you, this fic may not have even been born. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Loved this: All I had with Jim was one fifteen minute conversation where we played one prank and now I can’t get him out of my mind.
And how sweet that Jim works for Safe Walk. Knight in shining golf cart. http://mtt.just-once.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=52&pos=6
Author's Response: Well you had to go and show me a golf cart photo of Jim/JKras!!! LOL Oh. My. God. *thud* That just brought it all to life for me. A million, trillion Dundies to you for bringing that jem to my attention. Thank you so much for the kind review and for reading!

Wow, this little story of yours has taken on a life of it's own, yes? And I think it's great! I love the different take on the characters outside of the Dunder-Mifflin setting we all are used to seeing them in. And I think my favorite line of the whole story was the one about rescuing ladies in Perpetual Help. Very funny, in a dorky Jim kinda way.
Nice work!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the challenge that started it all!! LOL Who would have thought a little HD jolt of energy could spurn THIS? ;-) I loved that there was an actual residence called Perpetual Help... it just seemed so perfect in so many ways! Thanks for reading and for the feedback!
Date: July 23, 2007 11:35 am Title: Chapter 1
I made an audible noise when I saw that you continued this story. I just love it so much! And thanks so much for the thanks! I am honored!
Great continuation. It is so like Jim to volunteer to get people home safe. What a sweetheart.
Haha, and 'mildly balding senior' = hilarious.
It is so like Pam to be continually irritated by Roy, but then just think to herself that she's 'with' Roy and never thinks that that isn't a life sentence.
And thrilled to get to the end to read 'See ya around Pam.' I know I am looking forward to it. :)
Author's Response: Yay!!! Thanks so much for providing the feedback that helped inspire this story! I'm so happy to hear that you loved the story and thought that it was realistic of the characters. Thanks for reading and for reviewing!!

OMG. Roy doing a beer bong? Packer at a frat party? Blonde Ponytail?? This is just awesome. And this:
I am so not giving up my charcoals.
I could so hear Pam saying that!
....And of course, a collective sigh for Knight in Shining Armor Jim.
Author's Response: LOL!!! Of course Packer would be behind it, right? I couldn't give him lines cause I feared complete and utter chauvanism. Thanks so much for everything! Really, EVERYTHING! You rock harder than actual rocks.
Date: July 23, 2007 11:31 am Title: Chapter 1
Ahhh! So glad you decided to keep going with this fun AU you have created! Although I am sad to see that this is just a one shot. I like how Roy was so excited about frat parties even though he didn't go to college. And also:
If I pretend the moment didn’t happen, does that make it true?
Pam's got those defenses up, even at a young age! And, of course Jim works for Safe Ride! Love it.
Author's Response: I'm hoping I find inspiration to do a part 3 at least. But I have to go as the wind carries me, as it were ;-) I'm so glad that you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you for reading it and for reviewing! Very much appreciated.
